now it is time for a flash

 

I can hear my turbos with stock exhaust. Is that unusual?

 

K, seriously i'd love to flash my car. Especially after feeling the difference with the EP, im sure a flash would feel phenomenal.

I've still got a lot of warranty left though and I dont want to compromise it yet

 

BTW, I can't wait to go to work in 20 minutes so I can drive my car and listen to the exhaust

Still on the hunt!

Congratulations! I may go for one of these systems later in the year. Keep us posted on how you are enjoying this. I definitely recommend going for a flash upgrade. Check if your dealer would do this for you (mine does) and ask if he would still cover you from a warranty standpoint if you had a problem.

 

Thanks Ard

TTpower, I had no idea the dealer would even consider that. I have a feeling that the two dealerships that are close to me (newport and long beach porsche) are going to laugh at me when I ask but it's worth a shot. They seem pretty strict about mods there.

So far im on the 3rd day, and im liking it more and more each day.

 

Careful what you ask and/or disclose... Technically an exhaust could be used to avoid paying a warranty claim for engine damage. If power output is increased then they can claim the increased power of the mod led to the failure.

 

Aaron,
you got to love the way the car burbles when you let off the exhaust. Pure music.

 

Ard is right on point...........It's kind of hard to hide an aftermarket exhaust system if something goes wrong and you take it in to a dealership unless you plan on putting the stock exhaust back on before you go back in. I blew a radiator hose and had it flatbedded to the dealer. There were issues other than the radiator hose....I paid for the hose and labor, but they also replaced the MAF and a few other things under CPO....and the service manager told me...":we fixed some of the things under your CPO warranty...and I try not to look beyond what the problem actually was"......what he was telling me without saying it was....You have an aftermarket exhaust and diverter valves....but I'm not holding that against you and replaced the MAF. Technically, the EP and DV's "could have" led to the failure of the MAF...but he was kind to me and saved me $800. That's why a good working and personal relationship with your service manager can save you a lot of money in the long run if you have ANY mods...no matter what.

 

I absolutely do. After driving with my EP the last few days, I realized, "okay, THIS is how it's suppose to be." Driving my car is now an experience.



Chuck, that's some good advice, thank you.

 

I got mine directly from Stef at Europipe and had it installed by my Porsche dealer (they had all the mechanics gathered around to drool over it), and no warranty issues.

Sounds simply awesome - i would put one of these on my lawn tractor if i could.

 

I didnt know either till I asked. My dealer does exhausts (tubi) and flash upgrades (GIAC). So definitely worth asking. Call the parts department and speak to them first if they sell aftermarket performance upgrades. That will give you a pretty good idea what they will and wont do.

 

That's absolutely right. And it DOES help if they they do the mods for you themselves. Makes it much harder to say no.

 

what do you guys recommend for somebody who does not like the burbles, does not want it to sound throaty, and wants a smooth, deep tone?
